Transmigrated: Rise of a King

Chapter 53

Lucas said in the room as he waited for the princess to come back as he ate some of the snacks there as he waited patiently. It was only after a few minutes did the princess return to the room as she smiled at him.

"Please follow me, my father and mother wish to speak with you." Olivia said to him as he nodded and stood up.

He followed her out of the room as they went towards the throne room. As they walked Olivia was slightly slower than him as she looked at him walk as she wanted to see him more as her interest in him was already high after all that she had been able to see about him.

They soon reached the throne room as the soldiers opened the door and they entered. Lucas stood a few feet away from the king and queen who were sitting on their respective thrones. Olivia went forward and sat on her own throne as Lucas saw that only the royal guards and the court mage were present with them.

"You majesties." Lucas said respectfully as he gave them a bow.

"Raise your head Lucas. We want to discuss about the warning you just gave my daughter." Arvid said to him seriously.

"Of course, has she already told you about what I had said?" Lucas asked as he looked at them.

"Yes. You had used an artifact which warned you about the danger and you believe that it might also involve this kingdom." Arvid said to him seriously.

"Yes my king. While I do not know the exact reason or what form the danger will appear in, I believe that it might be even more dangerous than the two dragons that I had fought in the war." Lucas said to them seriously.

"Are you certain?" Arvid asked as this was a very bold proclamation.

"Of course, if possible, the court mage could take a look at the kingdom." Lucas said to them as he glanced at the old man.

"Of course, I can take a look, if your majesty wants me to." The court mage said as he looked at the ruler.

"Yes, please take a look." Arvid said as the court mage nodded at that.

He then took out a crystal ball as he used his magic to look at the kingdom of Sweden, but his eyes widened when he wasn't able to see the kingdom through his magic, as he faced the same problem as Lucas, which puzzled the man.

"I... I can't see it. I am not able to see the kingdom." The court mage said in surprise as he looked at the people in the room.

"What?" The king and queen said in unison in shock at his words.

The court mage is the strongest magic user in the kingdom and has vast knowledge of the magic arts, and is very vital for the kingdom and has also helped them in important decisions, making his position indispensable for the functionality of the kingdom as a whole.

"You can't see it?" Olivia said in shock as she never thought that it would happen.

"No. It seems that a very powerful magic user is in the kingdom." The court mage said as he frowned.

"But, why didn't they participate in the war?" Signe asked in confusion at his words.

"My queen, I believe that this is a new mage who has perhaps decided to use the aftermath of the war to his advantage." Lucas said to her respectfully.

"You might be right about that. If they had such a powerful mage with them then they would've been able to fight in the war more efficiently as they wouldn't have a reason to give up." The court mage said in a serious tone.

"That means he wishes to use the aftermath of the war to gain benefits, and if he is strong enough to actually block your vision, then they are most likely a very powerful magic user." Arvid said with a grave tone.

"How dangerous do you think it will be?" Signe asked as she was worried about what might happen.

"Considering the fact that they are powerful enough to block my vision, if he were to collude with the royal family and try to restart the war anew, then we might have to suffer heavy losses." The court mage said to them with a frown on his face.

"Great. We had just finished a war and another is likely to begin." Arvid said with a groan.

"What should we do?" Olivia asked the court mage as she felt anxious.

"For the moment, I think we should be vigilant and keep a watch on the border." The court mage said seriously.

"Is that so? Then we should immediately send word to our borders and make them more aware and cautious about the happenings at the border." Arvid said as he looked at the leader of the Royal guards.

"As you command your majesty." The leader of the royal guard said as he gave a small bow and gave the order to his subordinate who went to carry it out.

Lucas watched the process as he felt some gratitude in his heart at the fact that the king and the rest are taking his words seriously, which means that the kingdom will also be ready to mobilize at the face of danger.

'I just hope that this is enough.' Lucas thought to himself as he looked at the royal family.
